Can't you still not take a right on red in Montreal?

You can now, mostly, but it was a long time coming.  It's been a while since I've done much Montreal driving, I basically don't go any further east than old-house territory now.  One of these days I may make it to Rigaud just to get some good smoked meat and fries at the La Belle Province there.  Better than the Dunn's in Hawkesbury.

It's still no right on red on the island. I don't think it does that much for pedestrian safety, you still get a lot of cars turning on the straight arrow and honking at or cutting off pedestrians who make legal crossings. Our current mayor is trying to make it a more bike and pedestrian friendly city but there's a lot of opposition from drivers and business owners who think it'll kill their business.

It still is no right on red?  You can tell I haven't driven on the island much recently.

Drivers turning right, I know when I was taking classes at Concordia I could stand on the curb the whole green light and not get to cross.  Jaywalking in the middle of the block, or crossing on a red, was so much safer.
